PROLOGUE All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts . . . One's high school years constitute the acts of only one play on this vast stage. The player enters as an understudy striving to appear on stage; he exits as best actor, competent enough to appear on a larger stage. Secondary education is a play in life in which one first has an opportun- ity to play any part. He is the player in search of an education not only academically but also socially. The writing of plays is a great matter, forming as it does the minds and affections of men in such sort that whatsoever they see done in show on the stage, they will presently be doing in earnest in the world, which is a larger stage. This play determines the future of each and every player. That which he acquires now will designate whether he play next the part of the sage or the fool. We, acting as playwrights, will present to you — our audience — our play at Bellows Falls High School. As our players compete individually for best actor awards, our play strives as a whole for a first-position rating. Let the audience look to their eyes, For “give me audience.” 4

SCHOOL BOARD The school board in the town of Rockingham has five members. They are John Fletcher, John Porter, William Hennessey, John Wiseil, and Reverend Robert Kerr. In addition to carrying out the everyday curriculum, length of school term, and manner of instruction, the school board this year installed a new fire detection system in the High School. Another phase of fire protection for the school was the addition of registers in the cafeteria and shop. A damper to control the flow of cold air from the outside was also added. Another matter decided on by the school board was the purchase of a foreign language laboratory which includes a console and speakers tor twenty students. A partition was constructed between rooms 314 and 315 for the purpose of creating a new room, 315, which could be used in the future as an advanced science laboratory. When the clocks in the old part of the school failed, a new system of clocks was installed. The school board is also furthering the continuous growth of the new athletic field which was used for the first time this year. 6
